Hi, my friend in the Boston area wants an LLMD to get tested. (She has severe joint issues and brain fog but no one ever suggested Lyme to her, even though she's in Massachusetts.) Note: I recently posted about a friend who had MS who wanted to be tested … this is for a different person. Thanks.

She is not able to travel far beyond the Boston area, so the closer to Boston (preferably IN Boston) the better.

PM sent for MA.

When calling for an appointment, have your friend ask if they have any cancellations or a waiting list. Patients have been able to get in sooner by doing this.

Most LLMDs do not accept insurance due to the politics surrounding this horrible disease.

Have her read poster TF's explanation, "Why Lyme Doctors Don't Take Insurance":

Check the online state Lyme groups at:
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/massachusettslyme

Maybe they can help your friend.

Some more resources for your friend (including Support Groups info):
www.lyme-aware.org/massachusetts.html

The top LLMD, Dr. H, has written a new book entitled, "Why Can't I Get Better?". It is an excellent source of information.

Also have her read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. Check your local library or buy it used on Amazon.
